First of all, this comment by Thomas Kelley (word for word) has been left on a number of other sites and is obviously a poorly veiled attempt by Mellon P to validate itself. Secondly, I am a librarian and have an advanced degree in Information Science (among other things) and thus I *AM* qualified to make judgments about academic books: it is part of the education that every librarian (esp. at an academic library) must go through. I have entire books on how to assess the quality of academic literature, if you’re interested, and yes, the publisher can be one (of many) factors to be considered.

The issue I find outrageous is the nature of the lawsuit, being punished by expressing an opinion?
Where do honest reviews come from, if you can’t criticize?

Thomas Anthony Kelly — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 12:31:14 +0000

I find this whole debate to be nuts. Every book is a unique product. Some are good and some are poor. The actual publisher is no indication of quality. Every book needs to be judged on its individual merits. I know of some excellent books published by EMP which have had excellent reviews in leading scholarly journals.

Comment on We All Start Somewhere by Melissa Fortson Green

Melissa Fortson Green — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:01:19 +0000

I’m an early career librarian; I graduated with my MLIS in December 2009 and began my current- and first- full-time position in a library two years ago.

I benefit greatly from ACRL membership. When I unexpectedly became the liaison to the Department of Anthropology, ANSS connected me with librarians with knowledge and experience in anthropology, sociology and related fields. Serving as an Intern on the ACRL/IS Instruction Technologies Committee allows me to engage professionally while continuing to learn and teach about the impact of technology on instruction. Finally, I recently participated in the ACRL Immersion ’12 Teacher Track Program. In addition to enhancing my own instruction skills, the Immersion experience is enabling me to effect change in my own library and better support my colleagues in their teaching and learning.

Hi to Steven (we met when you spoke at the Alabama Association of College & Research Libraries annual meeting- chapter affiliation is another opportunity and benefit offered by ACRL!) and many thanks to ACRL for presenting me and other early career librarians with these opportunities.

The following proposal instructions are applicable to individuals: https://s4.goeshow.com/acrl/national/2013/abstract_instruct.cfm

Here is the online proposal submission form you should use: https://s4.goeshow.com/acrl/national/2013/abstract_submission.cfm

You can select “Contributed Paper” as the session format type on the online proposal submission form; it sounds like that is the session format you are interested in.

That’s good to know! Yes, I knew about the communities of practice (though I didn’t realize that’s how they are referred to), as I am able to pick those when I renew my membership each year. But I’m glad the Discussion Groups are part of the package, so to speak, as I navigated over to the list of current groups and saw at least two which I’d like to join. Thank you again for the response!

Comment on The Changing Nature of Student Retention by Steven J. Bell

Steven J. Bell — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 01:14:04 +0000

Good question Donna. Since you are already an ACRL member you can join as many of our discussion groups as you’d like – there is no additional fee. As part of your membership you can join three communities of practice – but no more than two sections. CoP includes sections and interest groups. If you did want to join more than three, any others would carry a fee of $5 each. You can join a discussion group by visiting their ALA Connect space.

I have a question that shows how much (or little) I know about ACRL membership (I’ve only been a member for a year now, being young in the profession). Is membership in Discussion Groups tied to dues? Or can one join a Discussion Group free of monetary cost?

Thank you in advance for enlightening me on this! (For what it’s worth, I didn’t know about the Discussion Groups until now, so thank you for this post…)

I may seeing the issue incorrectly, but it seems to me that getting rid of some of the free misinformation on the Internet would only help bring more patrons to realize the importance of public libraries. Here in Suffolk County NY we offer an excellent selection of online resources through our “live-brary.com” site. This service provides some of the highest quality paid databases. You get what you pay for and free information is often not very good. So please, I mean this, I’m open to hearing all sides, why is SOPA bad for public libraries? Thanks.

Comment on Speaking Up Takes Courage by TFC, F2F, LOL? Finding (and using) your voice. | Duke University Libraries Instruction & Outreach

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:46:06 +0000

[...] It’s difficult as librarians to admit when we can’t find, or don’t know, the answer to a query. I think this attitude often filters into our daily life, and can infiltrate our participation in meetings, and our inclination to volunteer to participate on committees that we fear we may be filled with a language that is unfamiliar to us. As we all know beginning a new job, traveling, taking on a new hobby, or even reading email from a colleague can sometimes require us to learn a new language, and risk not knowing the answers, or how to articulate a question.

Comment on Speaking Up Takes Courage by Connie Scott, Indiana Black Librarians Network

Connie Scott, Indiana Black Librarians Network — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:39:49 +0000

I agree with the quote from Merchant. “Minority viewpoints” are essential to advance action agendas. In my experience with professional and personal organizations and taskforces, I’ve been heard yet not acknowledged/listened to. The discussion will continue until a more seasoned member shares the same idea/sentiment and it is welcomed. I like that you utilize the Plus/Delta method. Hopefully this will hold members accountable to real communication. Going beyond personality, passion and procedures, I try to ask each person do they have something to contribute. (By the way, in the Greek, Delta means change.) My two cents for a slow afternoon in Indiana.

Thanks for the comment! My husband and I visited Fruitlands in the spring. A thrill to be where the Alcotts worked and loved and suffered. They were passionate people.

I’m checking out your blog

Margot, you’re reading what I’m reading! Matteson’s book is incredible – he has a particular understanding of spirituality which helps him paint a much more complete portrait of Bronson Alcott. Richard Francis’ book on Fruitlands is amazing too.

I blog about the Alcotts regularly at http://louisamayalcottismypassion.wordpress.com. I’ve posted a bit on Francis’ book, and will be soon posting on Matteson’s book.

Comment on Member of the Week: Martin Garnar by Melissa Powell

Melissa Powell — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:31:08 +0000

As a colleague of Martin’s I heartily applaud the choice of Martin as member of the week. He is a true library leader, not just in academic circles, but in public, school, and special, especially in Colorado. He has influenced many future library leaders by teaching ethics of librarianship at the University of Denver, and is a VERY active member of the Colorado Association of libraries. So many of us, even those who have been in the library biz a LOOONG time have learned from Martin. He makes us remember why we went into librarianship in the first place.

If you would like to see just how much Colorado loves Martin, check out http://tinyurl.com/3tl9av8 to see Martin with two of his fan club members. That’s right, there is an OFFICIAL Martin Garnar Fan Club!!

As one of the Managers of the Martin Garnar Fan Club, I can tell you he is such a joy to stalk at conferences and other library events. We follow waiting for pearls of wisdom to drop from his lips, and we are never disappointed.

Martin Garnar is ALWAYS my favorite member of any team, every week! He is so dynamic, fantastic, well-dressed, and he kills at being organized in meetings.
And just to let everyone know how cool he is, he’s got a fan club on Facebook! It’s called the Martin Garnar Fan Club and everyone (but Martin) should request to join!
